- Interactive onsite mapping
- Lean analysis of systems
- Identification & prioritization of issues
5S originated in the late 1950’s in Toyota, Japan, and has since been adopted by many western organisations, across all sectors. The basic premise of 5S is that personnel who work in any geographical area of the organisation (e.g. the development laboratory, a manufacturing area, the upstairs offices, the reception foyer, the warehouse etc.), have responsibility for the safety, layout, workflow and cleanliness of that area.
This 5S workshop is facilitated over 2 days with the team working in the chosen area. This course is offered on an in-company basis only i.e. all candidates are from the one organisation. It is participative and involves a combination of physical and classroom teamwork The content is tailored to suit your organization, with relevant 5S advance planning and follow-up mentoring as required.
